MILTON — Melting snow coupled with more than 2 inches of rain which is forecast to fall across the Central Susquehanna Valley could drive the West Branch of the Susquehanna River to near flood stage, according to a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in State College.
Meteorologist Craig Evanego said the rain will begin falling early Thursday morning.
“The rain will probably change over to snow (Thursday) night, before ending Friday morning,” he said. “It will be much colder Christmas day.”
In Milton, Evanego said 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches of rain is expected to fall.
“A lot of the snow we had is going to melt,” he said. “There is a potential there for some flooding issues as the rain is coming down on Thursday. You could see ponding of water, where snow is clogging drains.” ....
